## Description

Hide My Applist is an Xposed module designed to protect your privacy by intercepting applist detections from other apps. Some applications use root permissions to detect installed apps on your device, which can inadvertently reveal that your device is rooted or expose your app list for fingerprinting purposes.

This module blocks such attempts by hiding selected apps or outright rejecting app list requests. It also offers testing methods to help you verify that your app list is properly concealed. If you want to prevent apps from detecting your installed packages and enhance your device's privacy, Hide My Applist provides an effective solution.
